Give me your top ten, and when I say Attacking midfielder I mean central ones, playmaker and nr 10 types who are supposed to create (him, Özil, Iniesta, Silva, Götze Isco, Fabregas or even Hamsik etc), not all action wingers or pseudo forward. Only him and Özil were assisting ridiculous amount in those seasons.

Don't get the obsession of playing everything in hyper speed, doesn't matter when you are creating 20 plus goals.

You can't define attacking midfielder as playmaker, number 10 types. Müller also fills that position gloriously for instance, 'though in a different manner. Mata is just too fucking slow and I don't mean physically.

And every one of those you named except for Hamsik is better. Also add Diego, Turan, Pjanic, Sneijder, Müller, Vidal, etc.

Müller fills that position in very loose sense, he is not particularly good at all when on attacking midfield role centrally, he excells at wing position given freedom to attack all over, bit of an inside forward.

Müller is one of the very best in that position. Barely looses a duel, adds much more off the ball and is deadly inside the box. He operates centrally, closer to goal.

You can always make a case about player X or Y being better, that's an endless discussion. I just never liked Mata and I never will, he's a very slowing factor which is about the last thing our team needs.

Exactly, one of the best in the world, frankly even underrated a bit Imo. But not when his starting position is in the hole, he does his best work as fake winger on the right or pseudo forward playing off a striker (or given given duties as false 9). His output is definitely more limited when just given the duties of attacking midfield role in central position. His passing or technique isn't suited for that, nor does it use his best asset which is off the ball movement or positioning.

I forgot what source it was but, it claimed that we will buy back Zaza in January and Berardi back in the summer.

- - - Updated - - -

If Zaza score over 15 goals and continue to be an International player, you would activate his buy-back clause for 14m?
I would because sooner or later we have to find replacements for Tevez and Llorente, and you never know how Zaza will coupe in a big team like Juve.

I don't think it's stupid. Club like Juve, which is aiming for winning the league, Coppa and go as far as possible in Europe, has to have a very competitive squad. Both Morata and Zaza aren't very risky acquisitions. Morata is young and talented. Even if he doesn't fulfill the expectations he will have high re-sale value. I also remind You that we first sold half of Zaza to Sass for 2.5m and this summer sold him outright for 7.5m. Having an option to buy him for 15mln doesn't seem expansive.

Mata to Juve in January?

The Daily Mirror claims Juventus are preparing a January swoop for Manchester United playmaker Juan Mata.

Joining from Chelsea only last season for £35m, Mata has found himself pushed down the pecking order by Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao.

According to papers in Britain today, Juve are keeping a close eye on the situation.

They could pounce in January, especially as Manchester United are not in Europe this season, so he wouldn’t be cup-tied.

It would likely be a six-month loan deal with option to buy at the end of the season.
Yea okay

Zaza, Berardi, Sturaro, are looking pretty good.

Next year we could get a load income of youth, with Berardi, Sturaro, Zaza, Rugani, Leali.

Also I really feel that Marotta will chase Zappacosta. He's Italian, a RB, plays for our feed team Atalanta, will have 1 year of Serie A experience, is looking good, starter of U21, we have seen his name linked to us before...

Maybe Marotta will try to secure guys like Zappacosta, Baselli, Scuffet and Murru next winter.

Our scouting for young Italian players looks very good, since basically all youth purchased within Italy signed have looked good so far (Berardi, Gabbiadini, Boakye, Zaza, Sturaro, Rugani, Pereyra, Leali, pushed for Verratti, etc).

Berardi was brought dirt cheap, same for Zaza, same for Rugani's first half.

Gabbiadini, Boakye, Zaza, Sturaro, Rugani were basically unknowns when Juve bought them.

This is very likely to be due to Paritici's staff of scouting within Italy.

Squad could look like this:

Typical first 11;

Bench: Leali/Scuffet; Caceres/Zappacosta, Rugani, Ogbonna, Evra/Murru, Sturaro/Rabiot/Marrone, Marchisio/Mattiello/Vitale, Pereyra/Romulo, Morata/Zaza, Berardi, Coman.

Use money to buy a great starting CB and a trequartista for the squad, and it's all good.

Our good relationship with Atalanta will all be for nothing if we don't get Zappacosta off them.If he fulfills his potential,we are set in the RB department for the next decade,specially considering Licht is getting on.How much do you guys think Zappacosta will be worth at the end of the season?Swap deal with Giovinco please bringing Berardi and Zaza back:tuttosport:

Yea okay

Fucking hate this retarded media bullshit. As soon as the transfer window shuts, we are linked with Mata's, Ronaldo's and Messi's and in January it's the same good ol' Pereyra's and Romulo's. It's obvious we can't sign top tier players that have already established themselves in strongest leagues, it's pointless to try and give fans false hope that will never (at least not any time soon) materialize.
